terms of cosponsoring this important legislation, senators paul, ayotte, coburn, lee, rubio, cruz and johnson. i thank them for their cosponsorship and their support. this measure would limit members of congress and the house to three cost-effective terms, a total of six years in the senate, to two cost-effective terms, total of 12 years. it's the consensus measure supported by citizens groups, very active and supportive of the concept of term limits. and the idea again is simple, to reconnect congress with the american people, to do away with the notion of legislating as a career, and to get back to the founders' vision of citizen legislators. when i was in the state legislature, i authored and passed term limits for the state legislature. that required a state constitutional amendment, a big deal, a two-thirds vote in each body and then a vote of the people. but because of the people's voice rising up and being heard we achieved that. with that reform which was voted overwhelmingly into the state constitution by the people of louisiana, we have a regular influx now of new, flesh blood, real
